My Favorite Things, Pt. 2 |
1 | | Failure Fantastic Planet
One of the most under-looked yet most definitive albums of the 90s. Failure made grunge their own by including elements of space rock in their sound. |
2 | | Earth The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull
Dust bowl blues in the form of twangy post rock and drone. This is an album that's easy to space out to and forget you even exist. |
3 | | Boards of Canada Music Has the Right to Children
The best IDM album ever made. Listening to this somehow makes me feel relaxed and uneasy all at the same time. It's weird, but I love it. |
4 | | Fleetwood Mac Rumours
In 1977 the band created the greatest pop album of all time. The deep cuts shine even among heavy hitters like Go Your Own Way, The Chain and Don't Stop. |
5 | | Burial Untrue
Call it future garage, call it dubstep, call it whatever you want but it's damn good. This album oozes atmosphere and takes me someplace else. |
6 | | The War on Drugs Lost in the Dream
Mark Kozelek calls it beer commercial rock, but I call it damn good music. Adam's delivery on some of these songs makes me want to sing right with him. |
7 | | Bark Psychosis Hex
Without a doubt, my definitive post rock album. Hex is an album of immaculate beauty that all post rock bands should pay tribute to. |
8 | | Immolation Close to a World Below
Chaotic, intense, unsettling. Immolation perfected the art of death metal with Close to a World below and wouldn't reach this level of ferocity ever again. |
9 | | Tori Amos Little Earthquakes
One of the best pop albums around. If you haven't heard Tori Amos sing, you're missing out. Easily one of the best voices in pop back in her prime. |
10 | | Can Ege Bamyasi
A lot of fans would point to Tago Mago as Can's magnum opus, but I've always been more of a Ege Bamyasi kind of guy. This is experimental, proggy goodness. |
